WHAT'S IN A STRONG CORE?
It’s not just about being fit. The core is the powerhouse that generates nearly every movement we make. Strong abdominals protect our backs in everyday life and lie at the core of our yoga practice. Plus, they make us look amazing!
The days of doing endless crunches without results are long gone - this challenge will help you use movement toward building deep, strong core muscles and flexibility. This is a journey into all the styles, poses, sequences and aspects of your core.
WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT?
This 15 Day Core Challenge is designed to give you a taste of a range of different movement styles, levels, teachers and methods in which you can strengthen your core. Where you had thought that core exercises are dull, we are here to show you the range and fun you can have when you work on your strong centre.
You will be sent a daily guided practice straight to your inbox for you to practice anywhere.
Every body is different: what’s easy for you might be tough for someone else. Some days you’ll have a short, tough class. Other days, you’ll need to dedicate more time. You’ll discover teachers that you’ll love, and others you're perhaps less fond of.
THE RESULTS?
As well as having a super strong core by day 16, you’ll have completed an adventure into your mind, body and spirit. What do you have to lose?
